News

Hello lovely people of RT Florida! Today is an update of meet ups and polls. And polls for meet ups. Thus, we have a few questions on which dates work best for you in the form of, you guessed it, polls!

There are a few meet ups and events we are planning for September. First off are our next Drunk Gaming and Central Florida September meet up. Obviously, Drunk Gaming will be a bit easier to plan since it's online, so please fill out your availability for the provided dates for this event in the following link:

And your availability for an Orlando-based meet up in the link below. To give you guys a heads up, this meet up will likely be at Dave & Buster's off I-Drive. So if you still have points from the last North Florida meet up, be prepared to earn even more.

Hey, speaking of North Florida meet ups, we're planning another one in Jacksonville. Yay! This is being planned for the beginning of October with dates to be decided based on everyone's availability dictated by the poll here:

Remember, filling these out helps us plan a date that works with as many people as possible. If you don't fill it out, we can't know if you are available or not. Therefore, we look forward to many replies!

We also had a South (East) Florida meet up this past Friday. As special thanks to the amazing RWBY Cosplayers of South East Florida for making these events possible. We love working with them and thanks to these amazing people, have even brought you another meet up in late September with Smash Bros., CAH, and generally silliness and fun!

And of course, the RT Florida South (East) Meet Up is this Friday. For anyone going, be sure to follow us and keep an eye on our Twitter @RT_Florida for the chance to win a gift card to the RT store. We'll be tweeting there early Friday with more details. And of course, details on the meet up can be found here:

If you ever make anything that you want to show off to the community, please be sure to let either Will (WB_Spartan) or Victoria (ArnettV) know and we will post it in one of our updates. You guys make awesome things and we want to show everyone!

You asked for it. Then you asked for it again, and again, and again. And you guys finally made it happen.

With the help of the RWBY Cosplayers of South East Florida, we now have a South Florida meet up in Davie, August 26th (Friday), at Magic Cow Ice Cream. Everyone will be meeting at 7pm with enough time for fun and cards! As always, more details on the RWBY cosplayers' event here:

Of course, a few from our own group contributed as well. A special thanks to everyone from the massive super post here for helping put it together as well. Remember, it's hard for us in Central and North Florida to put together S. Florida meet ups since we're not there, so we count on people like these guys who put stuff together for everyone.

Hope you had a good weekend. Not too much this week (really), just a reminder that today is Community Day. What are you doing to show your pride? Watching some shows? Wearing some merch? Let us know!

We're also hosting a Community Game Night in GTA V tonight. You can find more details at the Facebook event below. Or join us online at 9pm. If this is your first time playing in one of our online events and are interested in being apart of it, let us know and we'll tell you how you can join.

We don't have many other events planned for the future (yet), but there are talks of a South (East) Florida Meet Up in the works. We will keep you posted on any updates!

And as a way of constantly improving, after events and meet ups, we are going to ask if you wouldn't mind providing feedback. We have it all set up in an anonymous form below so you don't have to worry about appearing a jerk (unless you're into that sort of thing). This helps us make our events even better for the future so we can expand on them. Remember, any feedback is appreciated!

Another great week here at RT Florida as we don't have a whole lot going on, but a few upcoming events, and a few being worked on.

First off is a reminder about our second House Party this Saturday. It's BYOB with the promise of a great time. Currently the exact address is hidden, but the Waterford Lakes address is in the area (about 5 minutes away). The real address will be released the day before. If you would like to bring a game, please be sure to clear it with us beforehand. Any questions, comments, or concerns, let us know as well.

We are also working on starting a Community Game Night each Community Day (15th of every month). Chris (), our social media guy, is setting these up and intends to bring people in from different communities as well. The link for the event, and the poll for the games, is below. Be sure to stick around for more info.

As a teaser for your guys as well, we have started work on our DnD setup and will have more on that later, but for those tabletop fans out there, we are working on something for you guys too! Be sure to let us know below if you're interested so we can get a count.

Also be sure to check the forum section of the group every now and then. While I don't have a link for it (damn you tabs), you can post about nearly any topic and find people to chat, hang out, laugh, game, etc with. Meet your fellow members!

Hello lovely people! We only have a few bits of news for you today but that does include set information for our next house party.

But firstly, I just want to give everyone a heads up that I will be out of town for most of this week and unreachable. Hence why this is being posted a bit earlier. So, if you have anything that needs to be brought to attention, or questions, or what have you, feel free to contact Will (@WB_Spartan) for anything you need. Well, within reason.

And of course, who would I be if I didn't constantly remind you about our South (West) meet up THIS WEEKEND. That's right, it's finally here. So make sure to stop by AMF Gulf Gate Lanes for some bowling and while you're at it, thank Ariana for being an amazing person and hosting the even for all you beauties. As always, find more information, including time and an address, at the Facebook event below.

Now, about that house party. The first one was such a blast so we were excited to do another. Based on the results everyone provided in the poll, the date will be Saturday, August 13th starting at 2pm. Just as previously, the exactly location will be released closer to the event, but for a general idea, it is in the Waterford area in east Orlando. Be sure to keep an eye on the Facebook event linked below for updates and information and we'll be sure to recap them in our Weekly Updates as they come out.

Also, you guys asked for more, so we're going to be having a RWBY: Grimm Eclipse game night for PC this coming Sunday. We start gathering at 7, so make sure you've added yourself to our Discord server and filled out our gaming roster so we can get you in a game that night. Obviously since the game is only 4 players max per team, we will be meeting up in the "General" voice channel and split up into different groups from there. As always, more details in the Facebook event below along with the Discord and roster links.

Lastly, be sure to check out g1 Gamedays on the ScrewAttack website. Their aim is to give members from the community a chance to play games with the ScrewAttack, Achievement Hunter, Funhaus, and Rooster Teeth communities. They play games every Wednesday and Saturday at 9pm EST and all Gamedays are streamed at www.Twitch.tv/g1_Gamedays. For more information on g1 Gamedays, check out their post in our group here:

Before we get to the RWBY meet ups this Wednesday, I first would like to mention a game night tomorrow afternoon on Xbox One. We'll be playing some of the new Cunning Stunts update in GTA V at 8 pm. For more information see the group gaming session here:

And now for RWBY. Please don't forget the screenings this Wednesday. If you bought a ticket and the event was confirmed, we look forward to seeing you there. If you haven't bought a ticket but would still like to go, check out an event near you! We have listed the confirmed Florida events below:

And of course, be sure to let us know which even your are going to in our Facebook events below. The South Miami events is on the RWBY Cosplayers of South East Florida page until we are able to find an advocate for RT Florida in that area. But we still love them regardless!

Again, a big thank you to Ariana for taking on the responsibility of running the meet up. We would love to be able to create meet ups everywhere across the state, but unfortunately that is something we are unable to do ourselves at the moment. That is why we are always looking for people to step up volunteer their time and effort for the community to assist in running events in their area. If anyone is ever interested, feel free to contact us and we will help how we can!

We also have another poll for your guys. And guess what? It's for the RT Florida House Party: The Sequel! It will be located in Orlando again, but please be sure to fill out the form at the link below to let us know your availability, what works best for you, and what you thought we could have improved from the last one. Don't worry, these are always anonymous.

Taadaa! We promised it, so here it is: our RT South (East) Florida Meet Up at AMF Gulf Gate Lanes in Sarasota. Everyone should start gathering at 4:30 and the fin will begin at 5. For more details, you can see our event here, and if you have any questions, please be sure to let us know so we can help you out!

South Florida also has a meet up they can go to this Friday in Miami. Thanks to our friends at the RWBY Cosplayers of South East Florida group, they are hosting a Million Dollars, But... meet up that anyone is welcome to come to. Want to go? Want more details? Check out the event below. (Thank you Steven for including our South Florida members in his events!)

And of course, don't forget about our own Universal Meet Up this Saturday where we'll meet up at City Walk and enjoy theme park awesomeness during the day. Yay lines (cause we didn't get enough of those at RTX)! For more details, you guessed it, see the event link below:

Hey everybody, we're still looking for people to upload their photos to the drive folder below for our RTX video. Whatever you have and are willing to share, we want them! And of course, don't forget to add your name and RT site username to the doc inside so we can give you proper credit

Also, we are having another South Florida meet up! Yay! It will be in the Sarasota area with location and activities to be decided. If you have suggestions, please be sure to let us know and we will take it into consideration!

Don't forget about the Universal Meet Up on July 23rd. See the link for details. And of course, the RWBY Volume 2 screenings with an after event for Orlando with details below. If you need help getting more people to an event, let us know and we'll help you out the best we can (all the tweets)!

Why is this update so late? Well, in case you've been living under a rock, RTX 2016 was last week and RT Florida was there! It was so great meeting everyone and we hope you found some new friends in the community.

On the note of RTX, we want to do a community collage video of all the fun you/we/everyone had at RTX and require content! So pictures, videos, panoramics, Polaroids, self painted murals that took 3 years- we want them all. Add a copy to the Google Drive folder here and be sure to add your name to the credit sheet so we can be sure to give you, well, proper credit.

As RTX winds down, the group might be a bit mellow for the next week or two while people recover (especially their wallets). But that doesn't mean we still aren't here! In fact, we're all over the place, just see all our social links below.

For events coming up, we have a few planned out later in July (rest now while you still can). We have our Universal Meet Up and a whole slew of RWBY Volume 2 screenings! And of course we will be having another after event meet up in Orlando for those of you who will be there. It''s another bowling event off OBT where you can find more details here:

Be sure to check the Team RWBY website for a screening near you and make it out to meet all the fantastic people you will ever meet! If there's a screening that isn't quite confirmed yet, tweet us @RT_Florida and we'll help you out! If you have an event planned for before, after, or during(?) a screening, let us know and we'll help you promote it. Don't have one planned but would like to, we can help you set that up too!

That's about all we have for you this week. Keep an eye out for more updates in the future, it was great meeting all of you, and remember, you are the greatest human beings in the galaxy!
